Synopsis

The Budapest Gambit is popular with club and internet chess players all over the world, and it is easy to see why. It has surprise value, it s not hard to learn, and it leads to sharp and dynamic play from the very start of the game. But what about its strategic value? When Grandmaster Viktor Moskalenko started playing the Budapest many years ago, its all-round appeal struck him, and since then he has won many games with it. This book contains quite a few of Moskalenko s own games, as well as games by other star players from the past and the present. They illustrate perfectly the dynamic character of this gambit as well as its solid strategic foundations. Moskalenko does not shower you with long computer-generated variations but clearly explains the plans for both White and Black. This New Edition is completely reworked and fully updated from the original 2007 publication; it has been extended by 25% and contains new analysis, new games, new ideas and lots of novelties.

About this title

Review:

I haven't seen this quality in an opening book in a very long time; the Ukrainian Grandmaster did a really outstanding job. He has found the right mixture and adresses experienced players who have been playing the gambit for a long time, as well as novices. --Freechess

In his fascinating book, Moskalenko provides clear analysis and explanations to lots of exciting games, designed to arm the reader with more than ample ammunition. --Paul Motwani, The Scotsman

The arrival of this charming book could change the fortunes of the Budapest (..) The liberal addition of summaries throughout enables the reader to understand the significance of each line. --Glenn Flear, Yearbook
